A journey through the brain

StratNeuro's outreach initiative

Last week was the international brain awareness week. On the 11th march, StratNeuro hosted a public symposium attended by around 300 members of the general public, and followed live by over 500 online viewers. Open lectures were given by Armita Gölkar, Johan Lundberg, Johan Lundström and Kristiina Tammimies. Anders Hansen (Psychiatrist, author and SVT show presenter), moderated and led a Q&A with the public. Over 20 volunteer researchers brought interactive and fun activities for the public interested to know more about the research we do at the Karolinska Institute.
